Learning outcomes

Building on the challenges of sustainability for our society and the economy, students will acquire knowledge of fundamental areas of business administration upon successful completion of the module, including the management process, organization, personnel management, legal forms and business associations, functional areas such as procurement, production and sales, as well as accounting and finance.
